Single-game Canucks tickets on sale, and some games start at $250

Single-game tickets for the upcoming Vancouver Canucks season went on sale Wednesday, and prices have gone up again.

The Vancouver Canucks disastrous 2024/2025 season didn’t stop owners from raising ticket prices for 2025/2026.

Single game tickets are now available for fans who signed up for priority access, and the two most coveted games have wallet-busting prices.

The cheapest seats to the Montreal Canadiens game on Saturday, Oct. 25 are $247 with taxes and fees. The most expensive ones are $789. That’s more than most face value floor seats for Taylor Swift’s Vancouver concerts last year.

Prices are similar for the Toronto Maple Leafs one-and-only visit to Rogers Arena on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026.

Tickets to the home opener against Calgary start at $155 for nose bleeds. The cheapest tickets for the 41 home games are for mid-week matches against less coveted teams like Anaheim and Buffalo. Fans can get in the building for $103 for those games.

Ticket broker Kingsley Bailey says the team is pricing out parents who want to bring their kids to games.

“They’re playing it the way that they want to play it, maximize the return as much as they can. And unfortunately, who gets hurt in this is the fan. These prices are really pricing out a family to be able to go to game,” said Bailey.

In his post-season press conference in April, Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford acknowledged many fans are upset that the team would raise prices after missing the playoffs.

“I understand the frustration. I don’t want to pay more for anything, none of us do,” said Rutherford on April 21.

The Canucks say the higher prices reflect the $7 million jump in the NHL salary cap for this upcoming season.

“Another part is the building that we have, is investing money back into an older building,” added Rutherford.

The Canucks are replacing all the seats at Rogers Arena this summer. The new seats have a higher backrest and cup holders. But Bailey says fans can’t enjoy them if they can’t afford to get in the door.

“Some fans will, but a lot won’t. And we will probably see last-minute price drops,” said Bailey.

That is possible with the Canucks dynamic pricing model. But Bailey is skeptical the drops will be significant.

“That dynamic pricing is a misnomer,” he said. “Dynamic pricing means there’s no ceiling and there’s no floor. But obviously there’s a floor. For the worst games on a Tuesday night in February when nobody wants to go, that should be a $20 ticket, but still, it’s like $80.”

While the team is offering three-game packs for a discount, right now fans can’t buy single -game tickets for under $100. And those who want to see marquee players and match ups will pay a lot more.

The Canucks will try to prove to their fans that it’s worth it when the regular season gets underway on Oct. 9.
